"Hi my name is Charlotte Skiles. I am a nutrition consultant and clinical herbalist with Eat in Peace Wellness Consulting located in Austin, Texas. And right now I'm going to talk to you about the best colon cleanse tea. My personal favorite colon cleanse tea is a product called Smooth Move, cute name right, by Traditional Medicinals. Now Smooth Move can be found in any health food store usually. And it's a lovely combination, first of all Traditional Medicinals is a great company so you can trust the quality of the herbal products being used in the tea. And it's a great combination of what's called a, well an overt laxative and herbs that relax the muscles in the GI tract. That particular combination is great because sometimes laxative containing teas can create constriction in the system and people will get a lot of cramping. Well, if you use this particular blend, Smooth Move, you get the relaxing properties of say something like peppermint combined with the moving, the bowel moving properties of the particular laxative used in the tea. So it's a great combination and it's very gentle. Now the one thing that I do want to say about colon cleansing teas of this nature is that they are a temporary remedy for a situation. They're not doing a whole lot to enhance digestion, they're having a drug like effect of pushing the bowels so there can be if used long term a bit of dependency that can develop on these products. So you just want to keep that in mind, use it only when you have to and if you're not having daily bowel movements, work with a health care practitioner about the factors involved in facilitating good digestion. So that would be what I have to say about the best colon cleansing tea, Smooth Move by Traditional Medicinals."
